WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the seat
belts. Most seating positions are equipped
with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode seat belts. If the seat belt becomes
wrapped around a child’s neck with the
ALR mode activated, the child can be seri-
ously injured or killed if the seat belt re-
tracts and becomes tight. This can occur
even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the
seat belt to release the child. If the seat belt
can not be unbuckled or is already unbuck-
led, release the child by cutting the seat
belt with a suitable tool (such as a knife or
scissors) to release the seat belt.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available
from many other sources, including doctors,
teachers, government traffic safety offices,
and community organizations. Every child is
different, so be sure to learn the best way to
transport your child.There are three basic types of child restraint
systems:•Rear-facing child restraint
•Forward-facing child restraint
•Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the child’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year and
less than 20 lb (9 kg) should be placed in
rear-facing child restraints. Forward-facing
child restraints are available for children who
outgrow rear-facing child restraints and are
at least 1 year old. Booster seats are used to
help position a vehicle lap/ shoulder belt on a
child who can no longer use a forward-facing
child restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protec-
tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit
them properly. The shoulder belt may come
too close to the face or neck. The lap belt
may not fit over their small hip bones. In an
accident, an improperly fitting seat belt
could cause serious or fatal injury. Always
use appropriate child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved childrestraints for infants and small children. See
"Child restraints" for more information.
A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle
by using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor
and Tethers for CHildren) system or with the
vehicle seat belt. For additional information,
refer to "Child restraints".
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens and
children be restrained in the rear seat. Stud-
ies show that children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint system
(air bag system) for the front passenger. (See
"Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)"
later in this section.)
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that infants be placed
in child restraints that comply with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You should
choose a child restraint which fits your ve-
hicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
CHILD SAFETY
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-17

WARNING
•The seat belts, the side air bags and cur-
tain air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat with both feet on the floor. The
side air bag and curtain air bag inflate
with great force. Do not allow anyone to
place their hand, leg or face near the side
air bag on the side of the seatback of the
front seat or near the side roof rails. Do
not allow anyone sitting in the front
seats or rear outboard seats to extend
their hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in
the previous illustrations.
•When sitting in the rear seats, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seats. If side air bags and curtain air
bags inflate, you may be seriously in-
jured. Be especially careful with chil-
dren, who should always be properly re-
strained. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the illus-
trations.
•Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with the side
air bag inflation.SSS0162Z

•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child up to the approxi-
mate size and weight of a one year old, the
indicator
light lights up after the system self-test
and remains lit. This indicates that the
front passenger front air bag is disabled.
If neither the OFF> or the
indicator lights light up, or if either indica-
tor light only lights up intermittently during
the journey, the front passenger seat
may not be used for a child restraint. Use
another seating position for the child re-
straint. For further information see
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
properly restrained child who is larger than
the approximate size and weight of a one
year old, either the BAG ON> or
indicator light lights up and remains lit af-
ter the system self-test depending on the
result of the classification. The result of
the classification is dependent on, among
other factors, the child restraint system
and the child's build.
Move the front passenger seat as far back
as possible. See "Child restraints" earlier in
this section.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by a
person with a smaller build (e.g. a teenager
or small adult), either the AIRBAG ON> or OFF> indicator light lights up and remains
lit after the system self-test depending on
the result of the classification.
– If the indi-
cator light lights up, move the front
passenger seat as far back as possible.
Alternatively, a person with a small
build can sit on a rear seat.
– If the
indicator light is lit, a person with a
smaller build should not use the front
passenger seat.
•The front passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or a person with a build correspond-
ing to that of an adult, the AIRBAG ON> indicator light lights up after
the system self-test and remains lit. This
indicates that the front passenger front air
bag is enabled.If the automatic front passenger front air bag
deactivation system is malfunctioning, the
red
restraint system warning light in the
combination meter and the AIRBAG OFF> indicator light light up simul-
taneously. The front passenger front air bag
is disabled in this case and does not deploy
during an accident. Have the system checked
as soon as possible by qualified technicians. It
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes/consequences and solutions
The indicator lamp
lights up and remains lit, even though the front
passenger seat is occupied by an adult or a person
with a build corresponding to that of an adult
•Make sure the conditions for a correct classification of the person on the front passenger seat are met
(see "Front passenger air bag" earlier in this section).
•If the indicator light remains lit, the front passenger seat may not be used.•Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
The indicator lamp
does not light up and/or does not stay on.
•Make sure there is nothing between the seat and the child restraint system.•Make sure that the entire base of the child restraint system rests on the seat cushion of the front
passenger seat.
•When installing the child restraint system, make sure that the seat belt is tight. Do not pull the seat belt
tight with the front passenger seat adjustment. This could result in the seat belt and the child restraint
system being pulled too tightly.
•Check that the child restraint system is installed correctly.•Make sure that no objects are applying additional weight to the seat.•Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Message Possible causes/consequences and solutions
[Front Passenger Airbag
Disabled See Operator's
Manual]The front-passenger front air bag is disabled during the journey although an adult or person of corresponding stature is on the
front passenger seat.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are properly seated and using the seat belt as outlined in this manual should not cause
the front passenger air bag to be automatically turned OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF, however if the occupant takes
his/her weight off the seat cushion (for example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out
of position), this could cause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly for
the most effective protection by the seat belt and supplemental air bag.
If additional forces are applied to the seat, the system may interpret the occupant's weight as lower than it actually is.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe area away from traffic as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Have the occupant on the front-passenger seat step out of the vehicle.
5. Make sure that the seat is unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch on the ignition.
6. Observe the indicator lights in the center console and the vehicle information display and check the
following. Seat unoccupied and ignition switched on:
- The and indicator lights must light up simultaneously for
approximately six seconds.
- The indicator lights must then light up and remain lit. If the indicator light is on, the automatic
front-passenger front air bag deactivation system has disabled the front-passenger front air bag (see "Front passenger air bag
and status light")
- the [Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator's Manual] or [Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator's Manual]
display messages must not be shown in the vehicle information display.
7. Wait for a period of at least 60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been completed.
8. Make sure that the display messages do not appear in the vehicle information display.
If these conditions are met, the front-passenger seat can be occupied again. Whether the or
indicator light remains lit or goes out depends on how the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system classifies the
occupant.
If, after taking the steps above, you still believe the system is not operating properly, have it checked immediately. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
